Summer here in the country. I want to soak under the sun and go to the beach

A cup of hot choco is a comfort to me. After a grueling day, a cup of steaming hot choco can really make a big difference. Or after traveling for number of hours…

On a cold day, or when I am sick, hot choco can make me feel a bit better. Or after a day that feels as if the world conspired against you, hot choco is the best remedy!

And it reminds me of being pampered when I was a kid…

It’s really different when mom’s still alive. The house was always clean and orderly. Every little knick-knack had a place of its own. Beddings and linens were changed every so often. Our rooms were always in order. In short, there’s order in the chaos that was our home.

Our super mom!

Now, it’s an effort for us to put the house together. I couldn’t figure out how mom was able to do it on a daily basis before. It’s true what they say, you only get to fully appreciate someone when he/she is already gone. I never did get to appreciate how patient and supportive my mom was until she’s not with us anymore. I miss her so much!

Vertical Haven is supposed to be all about the memories of my mom. Not necessarily all about her but those things that trigger the memories to surface. And then some.

I honestly lost that purpose. This blog became an ad hoc of things about my childhood and a sprinkle of reviews I made to earn some web hosting money. It’s cool but I would like to bring back the reason why I created this blog in the first place. My mom’s memories…

Expect more entries about my childhood, my mom, and other things that make me think of a haven.
